The number is not local guesswork: 04976's 23/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 04976, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

04976's score blends several independent layers — foreclosure and mortgage stress, tax and lien delinquency, bank headwind and structural exposure — into one 0–100 number, so understanding the components matters as much as the headline for anyone screening the ZIP. Practically, 04976 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
